Even though we've seen this kind of "food"-animal-as-radical-smasher-of-the-system before, we still don't get it.
Look at El Jefe here. The Castro-esque cigar, the Che-esque beret, the revolutionary's bandoleer made of pig ribs… It's sad, really.
Sad that he thinks he's, you know, accomplishing something. Standing up for a principle. Fighting an oppressive regime. Instead of what he's actually doing: Joining the struggle to be eaten. In the streets, we suppose.
It's not exactly the stirring stuff of romantic myth-making.
Addendum: And here's the (even less logical) kinder, gentler version of the barbecue-themed freedom fighter.
